My time to host the Lutheran Carnival ends a bit early. Dan got on the ball and started Carnival V a day earlier than we're accustomed. (Amazing how quickly habits get set in Lutherans and how it jars us when they're changed.) Tune in to Necessary Roughness and see what Dan put together for our enjoyment and edification.

As he suggested, several bloggers took his suggestion and followed Necessary Roughness's sports theme.
